How to load PGN text file
The PGN text folder is located at path Resources/PGN/TextFiles, any newly imported PGN text files have to be in this location.
To be able to select a new imported PGN text file :
1) the exact file name has to be registed in ChessPGNGameFilesName scriptable object located in Resources/ScriptableObjects/ChessPGN folder.
2) The PGN text file selection dropdown will automatic refer to the file name in the list of ChessPGNGameFilesName scriptable object according to index of itself. Without counting in Custom dropdown option, add as many dropdown options as the number of text file name in the scriptable object list, the dropdown name does not matters at all.
